I think thats like 95% of any car club Damo.

I agree totally. :P

I disagree a little though roo, ive been involved in a some of the more prestige clubs over the time(ie mustang etc),and there are certainly a lot of tossers out there,but ive seen the owners actually looking after their cars and try to keep there name of the club clean,not out drifting in the city or suburbsiin broad daylight,or slagging other clubs while on line for all to see. Of course we dont have to like their clubs if we dont want too just like other things keeping it known but discreet is the key i rekon,some of the younger lot dont understand this theory.

I mean i know we arent a club instead a gathering of people with import cars etc,just think that not enough people think before they talk/act and ruin it for others,both to stay in the club or wanting to join in future.

enough of my opinion /

Sorry mate, a bit loose with the "any" car club comment. I've only been exposed to those car clubs (gemis, escorts, skylines, silvias, 1600s) that do attract alot of younger owners.

Tracy's brother Paul hangs with alot of mature Street Machine owners and they're very laid back socially and big enthusiasts. Perhaps I'll get me that SLR afterall and get into the street machine scene. :P

I ride with some girls and they're pretty much one of the boys ... so they get called 'mate' and they have no problem with it.

On the topic of bikes and girls ...

I hate those young tossers who think they've got a chance trying to hit on the girls in the biker group. Like they think because they ride a bike too, the girls are so going to try and hook up. "Hey babe, I ride too. See my sexy 250cc? Bet you'd like to ride it" :)

And the tossers who think getting a motorcycle adds sex appeal. Most of them dress like dorks and ride like twats ... there's nothing appealing about it :P You ride for the passion for bikes, not for the perceived Hollywood-promoted image.

yeah spot on,i also found it funny to go out for a cruise only to find those tossers riding their freshly polished nobs,with their brand new one piece leathers ha ha ha

Nothing like us old boys from way back when poeple knew how to ride for the passion of it hey,miss my bike heaps and its only been 3mths grrrrrrrrrr

Told you you'd regret selling it :)

Yeah, most of the old school bikers aren't out as much anymore. Too many softies and egos on bikes now, with their "gold card" shiny new gear :P

You going to view the Toy Run riding past Damo? Tracy and I will be in it.

It sounds weird being called mate from a female I think.. Even though I have nothing against it. It throws me sometimes haha

welcome aboard Rogue, hope to hear alot more from you and your vast knowledge on RB's...........I hear LS1's go OK with a couple of snails hanging on!! :D

hahah thanks Sled you forgot the + E85. ;)

not related incidents are they Rouge?

Unfortunately yes.. Its one of my pet get up my 'nicker' hates. :P

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
